Haven (series based on The Colorado Kid)

Cable company LIES! Meh, I hate rabbit ears regardless. theyre terrible

[TJCams]

rabbit ears can pick up the signal still - it's best to get one of those funky looking ones though I think. Rabbit ears work, and you even get an hd signal too I think.

[Teriw]

I thought everyone went digital and rabbit ears are now useless

[TJCams]

I gave up on paying for tv. My landlord has Shaw Direct but I dont even watch it even though it's free. The remote stopped working too n I'm just like oh whatever I dont care. lol. I just DL everything which is now a pain with 8Mb internet but still better than PVR and commercials.

I "pay" - mind you it's very minimal for what I get.

Also - with rabbit ears - being situated across the river from Detroit - we actually get a lot of TV channel OTA (Over The Air).

Maybe there isn't, and Space is probably what I was thinking of. I only have basic Bell satellite, so don't get much Bell programming.

I didn't know there was a canadian syfy? oh wait, do you mean space? yea they just show reruns of the american stuff..but not necessarily just syfy stuff. They will play anything science fiction. For example they place Supernatural which is a CW show....the only CW show you will ever catch me watching too. I stick by the fact that it was ogirinally the WB. lol

I have watched every one of those shows all the way through but still stick to the point that Syfy shows simply do not interest a lot of people. No one else I know would be caught dead watching them. If you can't take the cheesy lines and poor special effects then its not really something you can watch. I like every one of these shows but they are still poor quality in many ways and sanctuary, warehouse 13 and eureka all got pretty bad towards the end. Stargate I love with a passion. All 3 of them even though Atlantis and Universe were not as good. Atlantis seems very canadian too me, maybe they used too many canadian actors and was filmed here. Iunno SG1 just had a much better cast. Universe got the casting right but then kepy them on the damn ship too long and it was kind of boring which is why it got cancelled.

I can pretty much agree to that. That said I think the not so great special effects is why there aren't very many special effects heavy network shows. The budget just isn't there for TV like it is for movies or HBO.

Like you I love pretty much anything Stargate, though Universe was my least favorite of those. I think it's problem was it tried to bring the look and feel of Battlestar Galactica to the Stargate series, and it just didn't work.

Warehouse 13 does sound pretty neat. I just can't believe how much more offerings the US SyFy has versus the Canadian SciFi (does it even exist?).

I would like to see more retro shows though - please please please show the original Ultraman!!!!

They have some really good programming these days. Some of my favorites (some still going others cancelled)

Sanctuary
Haven
Alpha's
Warehouse 13
Eureka
Anything Stargate

I've also heard good things about Lost Girl and Defiance. That said I'm a bit out of the loop on these things as I haven't really been watching a lot of TV lately.

I left it after the first season. I now avoid anything with David Balfour in it. (Haven was his last chance.)

[peteOcha]

Hmmm, seems like I have to look into this as I've totally somehow missed it.

[Dan Hocker]

I sort of lost interest after the 2nd season. maybe I'll get back to it one day.
Mike

That's kinda my biggest problem with ongoing series. I'll really get into them, then they'll go on break for a year and I'll forget to come back.

Teri - There are a lot of SyFy shows that really picque my interest, but am scared to tune them in for the fact that many shows like this turn out to be really lame. Continuum looks cool - haven't watched it. I must say though SyFy (US channel) has a lot of interesting offerings.
